Marvel Just Made Scarlet Witch"s Return In The MCU Way More Likely

Summary
  • Agatha All Along referencing Scarlet Witch could make a revival possible based on Agatha's prior plans for the character.
  • Death in the MCU isn't definitive, opening up various possibilities for Wanda's return, especially with more magic introduced.
  • Wanda's return would be beneficial for the MCU, as her character development warrants a more satisfying conclusion, potentially aiding the Avengers.
The upcoming MCU show Agatha All Along referencing the Scarlet Witch makes her possible return a stronger possibility than before. The Agatha All Along show is an upcoming Disney Plus series spinning off from the events of WandaVision, wherein Kathryn Hahn will reprise her role as Agatha Harkness following her standout performance as a villain in the prior storyline. Centering Agatha as the main character in an MCU show is a bold move, but could be successful in bringing even more magic into the ever-expanding universe.
However, the recent Agatha All Along trailer shown at the 2024 Disney Upfront Event may set up for the return of a far bigger MCU character via the show. According to IGN's coverage of the trailer, the preview shows Agatha Harkness as a detective trying to solve a murder case, only to have her notice Wanda's name alongside a list of dates. Based on this and an exchange between Harkness and Aubrey Plaza's character that also references the former Avenger, it seems that Scarlet Witch's story in the MCU timeline may not be over quite yet.

Agatha All Along Referencing Scarlet Witch Makes Her Return More Likely Of course, the references to Scarlet Witch's death in Agatha All Along could confirm that there is a finality to her end, but there are many ways a character can come back from the dead in the MCU.
Wanda was an integral part of the MCU, and it's impossible to rule out her return considering the idea of the multiverse or even more magic being introduced in the MCU with Agatha All Along sets up that possibility. The most recent case is Wolverine's upcoming inclusion in Deadpool & Wolverine following the beautiful ending the character got in Logan in 2017.
If Wanda's death is an integral part of the show's narrative, it also makes it even more possible that if she does actually return to the MCU, it will be either in Agatha All Along or as a direct result of what happens during the course of the season. Making Agatha and the other characters (as well as the audience) think that Scarlet Witch truly is gone could help make the moment she returns a triumph, similar to the circumstances around Loki's two MCU death twists, alongside the revival reveals of Captain America, Nick Fury, Groot, and Vision himself.
How Scarlet Witch Is Theorized To Return In Agatha All Along There is no definitive way to know how Scarlet Witch could return yet, but death isn't necessarily definitive for comic book characters. The nature of Agatha All Along and the idea of introducing even more witches and magic into the MCU make many viable ways to bring her back. One way the show could bring back Wanda is that Agatha Harkness could create a new coven of witches to help search for and possibly resurrect the Scarlet Witch, or potentially even summon a variant from an alternate universe to attempt the same thing.
It's entirely possible Agatha would want to bring back a powerful witch like Wanda to once again try to steal her powers after being unsuccessful the first time. The best way to approach this - especially based on her WandaVision failure - would be to build up allies, in line with the coven Agatha All Along has her setting up, which could have lasting ramifications for the MCU going into the rest of Phase 5 and beyond into Phase 6. This would also potentially allow the franchise to dive deeper into the MCU's magical side than ever before.
Why Scarlet Witch Needs To Return In The MCU Close Following the success of WandaVision, it feels odd that the MCU ended her story in such a way.
Wanda's last on-screen appearance was in the ending of Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, where she acted as the film's primary villain before seemingly dying under the crushing weight of falling rocks. It was a divisive end to a character that has been developed since Avengers: Age of Ultron. It felt quite rushed and didn't necessarily land with the emotional impact a death like Wanda's should have had. Following the success of WandaVision, it feels odd that the MCU ended her story in such a way in her very next on-screen appearance.
Rushing to the death of a character that deserved more and the fact that the Avengers could use a powerhouse like Wanda to help go up against Kang as well as whoever the villains may be in Avengers: Secret Wars adds more than one pertinent reason for Wanda to return to the MCU. Scarlet Witch has shown she has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the strongest villains that the MCU has to offer, and a return could hopefully allow the franchise to conclude her story in a more satisfying way.
Wanda has been an integral part of the MCU since her introduction in 2015. In a franchise where death doesn't necessarily mean the end - especially a death that leaves some things ambiguous in the first place - bringing the character back into the fold is certainly viable, and in a point in the timeline wherein audiences are seemingly nostalgic for the previous Avengers team, a revival could well prove more beneficial in the long run. As such, letting Agatha All Along either outright bring Wanda back - or otherwise allude to how this could happen - makes a lot of sense.
